A report on Connecticut’s nursing homes has recommended that staff not be allowed to work in multiple facilities, according to an article on the Hour website.
The report also said that facilities assign staff to the same units and schedule longer shifts to cut down on departures and arrivals.
State officials were also urged to prepare for the possibility of a second wave by lining up recovery centers for COVID patients.
A total of 3,228 residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities died in Connecticut as of Aug. 13.
According to director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. should start dropping around parts of the country by next week as Americans stick to mitigation efforts that help curb the spread of the virus, an article on the WJCL website said.
